madhuri IMO was never the best actress, always more of a star and dancer! karisma has shown some extremely brilliant performaces, so its karisma for me!
karisma has been more edgy and unpredictable, her best has been better than madhuri's best in terms of acting IMO and her worst has been worse than madhuri's worst!

Madhuri-she is effortless in whatever she does. Karisma is not a natural actress...she has to work hard.

I think both are good actresses. what I loved about Madhuri is the way she uses her eyes and has a very expressive face, seems very natural. Especially when she dances.

While Karishma has to make lots of effort and even during dancing her moves are really good but does not use her face.

In DTPH Karishma had more screen space and both of them were good.

Or maybe they had equal screen space do not remember. I loved both of them in that movie.

Both. Actually Madhuri had a very strong screen presence although as an actress she was quite mediocre but her screen presence was very captivating. Else she was more of a dancer. Actress not exactly but yes she emoted well. No doubt about that. But if I have to choose between them I really cannot. They both are more or less on the same level for me.

Madhuri is poetry in motion apart from being a natural actor. As someone here has rightly said, her beauty and her screen presence was so captivating that even if she faltered in her scenes, you wouldn't notice. Nevertheless, she was and is a brilliant actress - her use of eyes and her voice modulation is terrific.

Karishma on the other hand, evolved into a powerhouse performer and she packed sensitivity and vulnerability to her roles. I still feel Shakti was such a bouncer from her side. Karishma had to work harder and that showed as her work became better and better as time went by.

I am not sure if we can compare the two actresses. They are two different flavours of the same fruit. Just my opinion.

Agree Madhuri had tremendous screen presence. Have seen most of her movies and in none of them have I ever flinched.

In some of Karishma older movies I have not liked. Especially her look and dressing. After Raja Hindustani did we see the drastic change in her and she became better after that movie.
